Following the class on Social Entrepreneurs, i became really interested in the matter and looked more in depth.

A social entrepreneur can be defined as someone who is a entrepreneur, but in return they are doing something good for society, while still doing business (making profits). David Bornstein says that social entrepreneurs are “totally possessed in their visions of change”

Examples of companies are Ashoka Canada and Roots of Empathy, Ashoka “envisions a world…that responds quickly and effectively to social challenges…” with the support to envision change. Ashoka high supports individuals who want social change, or what we call a social entrepreneur. Roots of Empathy’s main goals are in ” reducing levels of aggression among children while raising their social and emotional competence and increasing empathy.”

I find that Social Entrepreneurs are a must in the world, in addition to making some money like in every business, you want to make a change and help society. i believe at least in one point of a businessmen/women career, they are considered “wicked” and “devilish” because of their actions, while being a social entrepreneur  you can drive change in society,ultimately building up good karma!
